Official 16-core mac pro waiting club - now open

With 16 cores you could edit several video-projects simultaneously!

If only the human brain had 16 cores.

And you would need 32 hands.
That´s 320 fingers.

😀

i am just thinking how many wpm i could type😀

What planet do you live on? You have 10 fingers per hand? Last I checked it was 5 fingers per hand, 32 hands would give you 160 fingers.

you are so out-dated.
I'm in 1025912384590128349128349012834901823409 cores Super Amazing all new Mac Pro club. 🙄

I'm actually waiting for the Dual Googolplex Quad Core before upgrading again. I hear it's going to be announced at WWDC '10!!!

I bet the next Mac Pro will be a Dual Core 2.0ghz that costs $4,000

I'm sure it will be dual 1.8ghz and cost $5,000 with a 6Gb memory limit and apple will be returning to the days of not including a keyboard and mouse at the same time

I just ordered a 16 core 2.93 today:

The virtue of virtual cores.
The new Intel Xeon “Nehalem” processors support Hyper-Threading, which allows two threads to run simultaneously on each core. So an 8-core Mac Pro presents 16 virtual cores that are recognized by Mac OS X. Performance is enhanced because Hyper-Threading enables the processor to take better advantage of the execution resources available in each core.
